Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Bexley’s Preferred Piano & Specialty Moving Company
We’ve been moving Bexley families since 2006. That’s nearly 20 years of navigating the same tight corners, steep staircases, and alley-garage arrangements that challenge newcomers on every job.
Our reputation here is built on specifics, not slogans. We know that a crew unfamiliar with Bexley’s landlocked geography - completely surrounded by Columbus, with no direct highway access - will waste an hour figuring out how to route a 26-foot truck through Columbus traffic corridors to reach your door. We don’t waste that hour. Our crews arrive on time, in uniform, in the window we gave you, and we call before we knock.
Every mover on your job is background-checked, on Milestone’s payroll, and trained to headquarters standards. No day labor sourced from a text message. No subcontractor who disappears when something goes wrong. If anything we moved or packed isn’t right, one call brings a crew or a check within 90 days of delivery - the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
Live support answers every call, 24/7. Before booking, during the move, and at the claims desk. The same person who schedules your Bryden Rd. pickup will still pick up the phone if you have a concern three weeks later.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Services in Bexley
Piano Moving
Pianos are the service that built our specialty division. In Bexley, they’re also the move that separates experienced crews from pretenders. The 1919 Steinway grand we moved from a Bryden Rd. Tudor last spring is typical of what we see: narrow 30-inch front door, steep 14-inch rise staircase, and the only workable approach was a split operation - truck on E. Main St., second team through the rear alley. Three hours, zero damage. We padded that piano through original 28-inch interior doorframes that would have stopped a less patient crew.
Most Bexley piano moves run $200-$900 depending on instrument size, staircase count, and whether we need the split-crew alley staging common in 43209. We move uprights, grands, baby grands, and console pianos. Every move includes full-value protection on everything we handle.
Antique & Fine Art Moving
Bexley’s housing stock - overwhelmingly built 1910s through 1940s - means affluent 43209 households contain serious collections. Heirloom furniture, oil paintings, sculptures, and period pieces that demand white-glove handling, custom crating, and climate-controlled transport when needed.
We recently crated a 19th-century armoire for a move from a South Drexel Ave. Colonial. The piece wouldn’t clear the second-floor landing without disassembly. Our crew documented every hardware position, padded each component with Uline materials, and reassembled on delivery. Antique and fine art moving in Bexley typically runs $300-$1,600 based on piece count, crating requirements, and access difficulty.
Safe & Gun Safe Moving
Bexley’s older homes frequently have safes in basements - concrete-walled, stair-accessed, sometimes dating to the original construction. Moving a 400-800 pound safe up steep 1920s stairs with tight turns requires hydraulic equipment, stair-climbing dollies, and crews who’ve done it before.
We’ve extracted safes from basement vaults where the original staircase had settled unevenly, requiring us to build temporary ramps. Safe and gun safe moving in Bexley runs $150-$600. We assess anchor bolts, stair integrity, and egress path before we quote. The number doesn’t change on move day.
Pool Table Moving
Pool tables in Bexley’s finished basements and converted carriage houses need slate disassembly, careful transport, and precise re-leveling. We use Milwaukee tools for disassembly and carry replacement felt in common colors for Bexley customers who want the table recovered during the move. Most pool table moves in 43209 require navigating those same narrow interior doorframes and steep stairs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bexley
We stock Uline packing materials, Milwaukee tools for disassembly and rigging, and maintain our own fleet of Ryder-spec trucks garaged in the metros we serve. For Bexley customers, this means no waiting on third-party equipment deliveries and no compatibility issues. If your piano requires a specific dolly or your safe needs a particular stair-climbing attachment, we bring it. Same-day parts availability keeps jobs on schedule when unexpected conditions arise - and in 43209’s pre-WWII homes, unexpected conditions are the norm, not the exception.
Common Piano & Specialty Moving Problems We See in Bexley Homes
- Underestimating alley-access constraints. Crews park on the street but can’t reach the rear garage, causing delays and potential damage to mature landscaping. We survey every Bexley job in advance to confirm whether split-crew staging is required.
- Slipping on frozen brick driveways during January-February moves. Central Ohio ice events turn Bexley’s original herringbone-brick walkways into hazards. We schedule buffer days around winter weather and use ice traction equipment - dropped pianos and crew injuries are preventable with proper planning.
- Misjudging tight interior corners and low ceilings in 1920s Tudors. Scraped walls and damaged piano casings result from crews who haven’t measured clearances. We pad doorframes and test angles before committing the full weight of an instrument.
- Assuming standard equipment fits non-standard spaces. A 26-foot truck backed to a Bexley front door is often impossible due to mature oak canopies and close lot spacing. We route appropriately sized vehicles and plan longer carries from legal parking positions.
